Friction is reduced between the tire and the road.

Frictional Force = Coefficient of Friction x Weight


The weight of the car has not changed, however, the coefficient of friction has gone down ultimately reducing the available emergency stopping power of the car.

The effect is referred to as Hydroplaning ; see related link .
